Pledge an oath to your highest ideals today #athensPledge

What would be your oath?

​I love the idea of pledging an oath to a higher ideal, I believe it can transform us.
I love this
 ancient Greek oath of citizenship*, however with some changes. For example, 
​I would change "my native land" to... " Planet Earth"....
So it would be, "I solemnly swear to leave planet Earth, more beautiful than I received it..." 

“The Athenian Ephebic Oath was an oath sworn by young men of Classical Athens, typically eighteen-year-old sons of Athenian citizens, upon induction into the military academy, the Ephebic College,graduation from which was required to attain status as citizens. The applicant would have been dressed in full armour, shield and spear in his left hand, his right hand raised and touching the right hand of the moderator...The ephebic oath is preserved on an inscription from Acharnae, which was written in the mid-fourth century BC” - John Wilson Taylor, 'The Athenian ephebic oath', Classical journal (1918), 495-501

English translation

"I will never bring reproach upon my hallowed arms, nor will I desert the comrade at whose side I stand, but I will defend our altars and our hearths, single-handed or supported by many. My native land I will not leave a diminished heritage but greater and better than when I received it. I will obey whoever is in authority and submit to the established laws and all others which the people shall harmoniously enact. If anyone tries to overthrow the constitution or disobeys it, I will not permit him, but will come to its defense, single-handed or with the support of all. I will honor the religion of my fathers. Let the gods be my witness, Agraulus, Enyalius, Ares, Zeus, Thallo, Auxo, Hegemone."

In Greek:

"Οὐ καταισχυνῶ τὰ ὅπλα τὰ ἱερὰ, οὐδ' ἐγκαταλείψω τὸν παραστάτην ὅτῳ ἂν στοιχήσω· ἀμυνῶ δὲ καὶ ὑπὲρ ἱερῶν καὶ ὁσίων καὶ μόνος καὶ μετὰ πολλῶν. καὶ τὴν πατρίδα οὐκ ἐλάσσω παραδώσω, πλείω δὲ καὶ ἀρείω ὅσης ἂν παραδέξωμαι. καὶ εὐηκοήσω τῶν ἀεὶ κραινόντων ἐμφρόνως καὶ τοῖς θεσμοῖς τοῖς ἰδρυμένοις πείσομαι καὶ οὕστινας ἂν ἄλλους τὸ πλῆθος ἰδρύσηται ὁμοφρόνως·καὶ ἂν τις ἀναιρῇ τοὺς θεσμοὺς ἢ μὴ πείθηται οὐκ ἐπιτρέψω, ἀμυνῶ δὲ καὶ μόνος καὶ μετὰ πολλῶν. καὶ ἱερὰ τὰ πάτρια τιμήσω. ἵστορες τούτων Ἄγλαυρος, Ἐνυάλιος, Ἄρης, Ζεύς, Θαλλώ, Αὐξώ, Ἡγεμόνη.

Transform Fear, Anxiety, Anger & Depression to Freedom in 15 minutes with my simple 3-Step Method

26/2/2021

0 Comments

 

In this episode you will be able to see demonstration of how to transform your fear, anxiety, anger into inner freedom in 15 minutes*, through my simple 3-Step method, based on Greek Philosophy (Socratic Method, Aristotle, Plato & Stoicism) and modern evidence-based method of Alpha Waves (Self-Hypnosis, Guided Meditation, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming). *Practice it on a regular basis for best-results.

On the outside, you appear strong, successful and confident, ​but on the inside, you often feel frustrated, angry and anxious, overwhelmed by life’s relentless onslaught of details, problems, alternatives and considerations...
​
You lie awake at night thinking:
-How can I fulfil my greatest potential?
-Am I living my life to the fullest? 
-How can I have a more meaningful life?
-How can I make a positive difference in this world?

This feeling of ‘being stuck’ can cause havoc in our personal and professional life. 
The question is: Have you had enough yet? 
Are you ready to gain clarity, unleash the best version of you, understand what’s important and make
the right decisions - the ones that will lead you to real success and happiness?

If so, then you are at the right place and time to take charge of your career, your life and most importantly, yourself. 

I mentor professional women on improving their MINDSET and STRATEGY for their important
life & career transitions.


The #AlkistisMethod​ is about asking asking yourself 3 questions regarding your core beliefs
1) Is it true? Is it Kind? Is it useful? , based on the 3 Golden Principles of
 #GreekPhilosophy​
 (Ethos, Pathos, Logos).
​Inspired by the Socratic Method of Self-Inquiry.

Relieve your anxiety today #anxietyrelief

Enjoy this deeply relaxing guided meditation, reflecting on the teachings of Epictetus, the Greek philosopher.
"There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own. Beyond our power are body, property, reputation, office, and, in one word, whatever are not properly our own affairs...."
​
So starts the first lesson in The Manual For Life (The Enchiridion) , from the teachings of the great Greek philosopher, Epictetus.
It is the inspiration for the Serenity Prayer:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

THE 7 BENEFITS of a GUIDED MEDITATION
  • ​CALM YOUR STRESS & RELAX
  • CULTIVATE SELF-INDUCED RELAXATION AT WILL
  • INCREASE MINDFULNESS & INTUITION
  • CONNECT YOU WITH YOUR DEEPER WISDOM
  • RELIEVE MIGRAINES & PSYCHOSOMATIC SYMPTOMS
  • DEEPEN POSITIVE AFFIRMATION FOR PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS​
  • ATTUNE YOURSELF TO WHAT YOU TRULY WANT IN YOUR LIFE

DID YOU KNOW? Deep relaxation practices of consciously recognizing and controlling our thoughts and dreams, has been around for centuries.  Since ancient Greek times,  "Morpheus" the Greek god of Dreams was venerated.  Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist, (384-322 BC) who wrote about this practice in his works, ('On Dreaming' and 'On Sleep and Waking') was the first to note that the images and symbols we see in dream and myth speak directly to our subconscious. Hippocrates, (460-377BC) the Father of modern Medicine, praised induced dreaming & hypnosis for its benefits. ​

DOCTORS RECOMMEND daily practice of a deeply relaxing  inner state, to help us manage stress and anxiety.  Scientific Studies have proven that in relaxed state, the mind is more than ​200% more receptive to suggestions,  than in ordinary, conscious state. In addition, when we introduce a 'positive mission statement' during this practice, it can bring on positive powerful changes in our life. Here's where you can listen to more like the above GUIDED MEDITATION.

Overcome Anxiety with #Seneca #STOICISM Here's a RELAXING GUIDED MEDITATION filmed in Greece

2/2/2021

0 Comments

 


​Roman philosopher Seneca had learned the art of objective, critical thinking from the ancient Greek thinkers, especially Socrates and later Stoic philosophers like Zeno.

In today's guided meditation, we reflect on his correspondence with his friend Lucilius Junior where he wrote:
"There are more things … likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality."
​

Seneca counsels his young friend in his thirteenth letter, entitled “On Groundless Fears”:

"What I advise you to do is, not to be unhappy before the crisis comes; since it may be that the dangers before which you paled as if they were threatening you, will never come upon you; they certainly have not yet come. Accordingly, some things torment us more than they ought; some torment us before they ought; and some torment us when they ought not to torment us at all. We are in the habit of exaggerating, or imagining, or anticipating, sorrow."
